Report: Chelsea, Atletico Madrid reach deal for Filipe Luis

Filipe Luis is reportedly on the brink of returning to the Vicente Calderon.

Chelsea has agreed to sell the Brazilian defender back to Atletico Madrid, according to Sky Sports, following a disappointing debut season in England where playing opportunities were few and far between.

Enrique Ortego from Spanish publication Marca reports that the transfer will cost Atletico €16 million, which converts to roughly £11.1 million.

The transfer occurs almost a year to the day after Atletico accepted Chelsea's reported £15.8-million offer for the left-back.

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo confirmed the two teams were in the process of negotiating a fee to reunite Luis with his former team last week, but was hesitant to say whether he was optimistic about the direction of the meetings with the defending Premier League champions.
